Thats bargaining! They are approximately 10 mil this year and we could have afford them last year too. This is more on coaching than anything else.

Like u/not_beniot said, Carr would have kept JMD employed. It would have been much more of the mediocrity and JMD would most likely still have another year with us. My prediction is he would have signed 2024 Mac Jones and it would be just like Jimmy G was this year. I would have been intrigued with Bo, AP, Adams, Jacobs, and Carr offensive stronghold, but it’s better this way.
